How can I be more involved in my child's special education?
Active participation is key! Attend all ARD meetings, communicate regularly with your child's teachers and specialists, and review your child's IEP frequently. Don't hesitate to ask questions and share your insights about your child's strengths, needs, and progress.

Practical Tip for Judson ISD Parents
Judson ISD, serving approximately 10,000 students, is considered a smaller district. In smaller districts, it's common for the Special Education Director to oversee many aspects of the program. For effective communication and to maintain a clear record of your interactions, consider using email when communicating with the Special Education Director or other key personnel. This provides a "paper trail" for future reference and helps ensure your concerns are documented.
